Relief Was Found There is still a very prevalent belief that rheumatism is due to cold or wet weather. This belief is probably due loe the fact that when the blood is thin and watery there is an acute sensi- tiveness to atmospheric conditions and a change to wet weather often means a return of the excruciating pains. Rheu__matism, however, is foot- ed in the blood, and it can only be driven from the system by building up and enriching the blood. Hot baths and outward applications of liniment may give temporary relief, but can- not cure. If the disease is not attack- ed through the blood, ' it simply fas- tens itself more firmly on the sys- tem, and the sufferer ultimately be- comes hopelessly crippled. The truth of this is provedby the case of Mrs. Frank Ford, of Calgary, Alta. Mrs, Ford says: "I was an almost help- less cripple from rheumatism. It seemed to have settled in every joint. My arms and hands had to be band- aged. My ankles were so swollen that I had to use crutches. After doctor- ing for a long' time and growing steadily worse, the doetce, advised me to go to Banff Springs. I stayed there for eight weeks taking daily baths and returned home poorer in pocket by about $160 tied not one bit improved in health. I then entered a local hospital, but did not derive any benefit. I was in such constant pain that I almost wished to die, and I felt The following description of trench sure I would be a lifelong cripple.

The military chiefs of -the great na- tions entered the war a year ago with the settled conviction that any form of protection for the soldier's body - against the missiles of destruction would be vain and valueless. It was not long, however, before the German soldier, who had received a forage cap to do his fighting in, was clamoring for his patent leather helmet, spike and all. The very practical French. soldier began wearing at times any lightweight metal vessel that would fit his head. On both sides, but chief- ly on that of the Germans, special chest protectors were being worn. In European countries where mili- tary conscription is in force inventors for years have been working on bul- let-proof garments. While in America a certain type of inventor devotes his time to producing a perpetual motion device, in Europe the same type works on an impenetrable waistcoat and becomes -the butt of all the jokesmiths. In the early days of the war it was found thatsoldiers received an ex- ceptionally high percentage of head wounds and the French war authorie ties took official cognizance of the fact. But while they were studying the matter the French soldier was quick to see a remedy. He improvised a head covering with tin cans, sauce= pans, anything that would fit. Finally. cheery banter.

The sun blazes overhead, the guns boom, the shells scream and burst, the rifles crackle and the bullets whistle, and the silly drama of war goes on while good men die.

A sta- tute passed in England in 1266 or- dained that thirty-two grains of wheat taken from the middle of the ear and well dried, should make a penny- weight, twenty of which should make an ounce, while 12 ounces weret to make a pound. The pound, therefore, consisted then of 7,680 grains. But several centuries later the penny- weight was divided into twenty-four grains, which made the troy pound 5,760 grains. The pennyweight was the exact weight of a silver penny. The standar grain was prescribed by act of parliament in the reign of George IV. Fifty years ago Florence was the capital of Italy.
